I was just thinking about this for an application I am working on… Since the shared mail feature (single copy object store) separates each message into its header and body, and only delivers the headers to each person, what appears in the journal? Does the journal still get a full copy of every message? I hope so, otherwise the journal is not too useful. I could find no mention of this in the documentation or the forum.
TIA,

Subject: How does journaling handle shared mail ?
Interesting question. I just tested the following scenario:
With Shared Mail and journaling turned on, I sent messages to 3 users and verified that the shared mail was in use properly by taking down the server, opening the mail file “locally” and attempting to open the message. Couldn’t open it, because it couldn’t find the object store, obviously.
While the server still down, I open the mail journal db and can open any message in full, so it appears that the journal is journaling a full copy of each message.
Subject: Thanks very much. You saved me doing the same test.
